How to take a Screen Shot on Mac?

Taking Screen Shots on Mac is a very easy and simple task. In this Post, ‘m describing the ways to take screen shots on Mac.
  1. For Entire Screen Shot: Press Command+Shift+3. This will save a PNG image of entire screen on desktop.

                        
  2. For Selected Screen Area: Press Command+Shift+4. A Cross-Hair Cursor will appear and you can select the area of screen you want to capture. Just after releasing the cursor, a PNG image will be saved on your desktop.

                        
  3. For an Active Window: Press Command+Shift+4 and then press Space Bar. This will change the cursor into a camera. Now move the cursor over the window you want to capture. This will highlight the window. (It’s not important for the window to be visible entirely.) Now click the on the window. This will save a PNG image of the window on your desktop.
